I'm currently running windows 2000 professional. I installed it on FAT32 file system. What would be a better file system to use as for speed and stability, (security is NOT important)? Is FAT 32 less stable than NTFS? And I also tried converting my disk to NTFS by typing
convert convert c: /fs:ntfs /v , but It didn't convert to NTFS on reboot. Some one please give me thier opinions on NTFS vs. FAT32

Thanks.

From MS.

Convert
Notes
If an automatic conversion fails at boot, look for details in Event Viewer in the application log under Winlogon. The application log will list the cause of the convert failure. If the conversion fails due to difficulty in converting files with strange file names, reissue the convert command using the /nametable switch and attempt automatic conversion. The system will consult the nametable created by convert during the automatic conversion.
